All Around the World - Taj Mahal and Keb Mo

Cornfield · Apr 19, 2017

Anyone else watch Late Night with Stephen Colbert last night?

The actual TV show edited this down to a few seconds but this is what the studio audience saw and heard.
Taj Mahal has an 8 string ukulele in this number. I know that he used to tour as Taj Mahal and the Ukulele Blues.

Wow, what a tight little group. Loved it, thanks for sharing. Appeared to be a Kala 8 string.

Thanks! I only saw the monologue due to an early wake up for work and did not pay attention to Taj Mahal's instrument when he was introduced at the start of the show.

Thanks for posting this. Listening to this has been the best part of my day so far.

I've always had a soft spot for Taj Mahal songs. I wish they would have given them more time on the show.

that's what I was thinking...

Saw the show and was really disappointed when they cut off the song going into commercials. Big fan of both Taj and Keb'...saw Keb' live at the Boulder theater years ago.
here's the video on youtube, I was having trouble watching the link above...

We're all very proud of Jon here in New Orleans.

Here's an article on his (locally) famous Batiste family:

and one that focuses on some of the things Jon has done:

Taj & Keb play here a lot, but don't remember them sharing a stage here with Jon.
